Details: Arguably one of the greatest finds in the early Crimson live archives: uncovering a previously unheard set on the second night at the band s 1971 stint at The Marquee. One of the more pleasing outcomes of the ongoing King Crimson 40th anniversary releases was the reception & re-evaluation that was afforded to 1971 s Islands album. Long over-shadowed by the live reputation of the 1969 line-up that preceded it & the 72/74 line-ups that followed, the band had, up to that point, been under-appreciated. This soundboard recording, discovered in the DGM archive in 2012, confirms that the 1971 band could match any King Crimson line-up before or since for a quality live show. In the middle of the recording sessions for the Islands album, the band returned to the legendary Marquee Club for two special concerts (quickly extended to a third night). Taken from the second night, this recording captures a relaxed performance featuring material from all three of King Crimson's released albums & early live recordings of much of the Islands material. This is the only line-up in King Crimson s long history that has, to date, performed material from the first four studio albums. It's a key recording in the King Crimson catalogue of live releases.
